Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. After roll call, Chairman Rogers stated that
they have the minimum amount of Planning and Zoning Commission Members for a quorum. In order for a case
to receive a positive recommendation, a unanimous vote must occur. The voting for the minutes from the January
24, 2008 meeting were held over until the next meeting since only two members were present from that meeting.
Chairman Rogers introduced case number PZ-38-07, a request for a Conditional Use approval and Variations (3-
unit rowhome development) at 309-313 W. Prospect Ave., at 7:35 p.m.
William Cooney, Director of Community Development, stated that the properties were currently vacant grass lots.
He said that the proposal is for a three unit townhome facing Prospect Avenue with vehicular access off of West
Busse Avenue. The townhomes would be a masonry structure with a residential roofline and a series of expansive
windows.
Mr. Cooney said that the Staff report indicated concerns regarding the eastern elevation, only one window was
shown on the original proposal; this has since been updated by the Petitioner.
Mr. Cooney discussed the current uses on Prospect Avenue. He stated that Staff is opposed to the proposal
because Prospect Avenue is more of a commercial, office, and retail roadway.
Mr. Cooney showed a table regarding setbacks and variation requests. The Staff's recommendation was to deny
the current proposal. Mr. Cooney said that Staff would prefer an office on the first level with residential units
above.

Chairman Rogers swore in Paul Swanson, 401 E. Prospect Ave., Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Swanson discussed his
background in developing projects and properties. He said he did a study regarding building a professional office
space or medical space. He stated the size of a commercial building or medical space was limited due to the
setbacks. He also said that the site is unfeasible from a cost and market standpoint. Mr. Swanson stated that there
is currently a 20% vacancy rate in the Northwest suburbs that includes Mount Prospect. He said the property is
too small for mixed use.
Mr. Swanson stated that the proposal is for three townhomes. He summarized three reasons why townhomes
would be acceptable for the site: close walking distance to the train station, close proximity to downtown
amenities, and the current market would support the development.
Mr. Swanson said the current project would provide 2000 square feet of living space and 400 square feet for
garages. He said townhomes on the site would double the amount of property taxes if an office building was on
the property. He stated that the proposed development is consistent with the surrounding land use. Mr. Swanson
showed pictures of other properties along Prospect Ave. that showed residential buildings next to
commercial/office buildings.
Mr. Swanson stated that he had a letter from his planner. He summarized the letter that emphasized surrounding
land use and the trend in development works for this project.
Mr. Swanson showed the site plan and landscape plan that included an open area on the East side of the property.
He also showed the floor plan, North elevation, and discussed using green items for this proposed project.
Mr. Swanson said he will need Variations due to the location of the rear balconies and front patios that enter into
the setbacks. He needs a Conditional Use for living space on the first floor in a B-5 zone.
Mr. Swanson concluded by asking the Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend approval so the proposed
project could move to the Village Board.
Chairman Rogers asked the Petitioner if he has read the conditions placed in the Staff report and asked if he
agreed to them. Mr. Swanson stated that he did agree.
Chairman Rogers swore in Oesi Flynn, 107 S. Elmhurst Ave., Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Flynn stated that Mr.
Swanson did stop by his residence and explain the proposed project. Mr. Flynn believed that the property would
be an ideal location for a downtown park and playground; due to the odd layout ofthe lots.
Mr. Swanson stated that he visited the surrounding residential neighbors in the fall and most recently with the
proposed elevations that have been presented. He said that seven of the nine residents favored a residential
development for this parcel of land.
There was general discussion about creating a park. Chairman Rogers stated that the proposed case was not about
purchasing the land or developing a park.
Chairman Rogers asked if anyone else wanted to discuss the case. Hearing none, the public discussion was closed
and brought back to the Commission.
Keith Youngquist said from Mount Prospect Road to Central Avenue, Prospect Avenue could not make up its
mind on what it wants to be. He stated a variety of different uses extend along the street. Mr. Youngquist said
that he understands what the Village wants to do with a mixed-use development, but he believed that this
particular site does not allow for it. He concluded by reiterating that there is no consistency along Prospect
Avenue and commended the Petitioner for his research on a variety of uses for the property.

Chairman Rogers said the area is on the back side of the railroad and the reason for zoning is for some uniformity
along the way. He also commended the Petitioner for research completed as well. Chairman Rogers agreed that
the site is too small for offices.
Leo Floras asked the Petitioner how long the previous owner had owned the land. Mr. Swanson stated that he did
not know, but the previous owner presently owns the apartment building to the West of the site.
Mr. Floros said that this property has been vacant forever and believed the proposal is logical and practical to the
area. He believed that this would be a valuable addition to that section of town.
Mr. Floras made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission accept the proposal as presented with the
conditions placed by Staff, case number PZ-38-07, a request for a Conditional Use to allow dwelling units on the
ground floor and Variations that included setbacks and the building height; Keith Youngquist seconded the
motion.
UPON ROLL CALL:
A YES: Floros, Haaland, Youngquist, Rogers
NA YS: None
Motion was approved 4-0.
After hearing two additional cases, Keith Youngquist made a motion to adjourn at 10:30 p.m. The motion was
approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

TO: MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
RICHARD ROGERS, CHAIRPERSON
FROM: JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE: DECEMBER 6, 2007
HEARING DATE: DECEMBER 13,2007
SUBJECT: PZ-38-07 - CONDITIONAL USE & VARIATIONS (ROWHOME DEVELOPMENT)
309-17 W. PROSPECT AVE. - PAUL SWANSON ASSOC. INC. (APPLICANT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the December 13, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to
review the application by Paul Swanson Associates Inc. (the "Petitioner"), regarding the property located at 309-
17 W. Prospect Ave. (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking: l} Conditional Use approval to allow
dwellings on the ground floor, and 2) Variations for the front and rear setbacks and the building height. The P&Z
Commission hearing was properly noticed in the October 10, 2007 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In
addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted Public
Hearing signs on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located at the intersection of Prospect Ave. and Elmhurst Avenue, north of Busse Avenue,
and currently contains an unimproved grassy lot. The Subject Property consists of three lots of record and has an
irregular triangular shape. It is zoned B5 Central Commercial and is bordered by the RA Single Family District to
the south, B5 Central Commercial to the west and east, and the Metra rail road tracks to the north, across Prospect
A venue. 4-hour on-street parking is available along the north side of Prospect A venue, and 2-hour on-street
parking is available on Busse Avenue, Elmhurst Avenue, and the south side of Prospect Avenue.
SUMMARY
The Petitioner's proposal includes redevelopment of the site as a 3-unit rowhome development. The various
elements of the proposal are outlined below:
Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development - The Subject Property is zoned B5 Central Commercial, which
is intended to accommodate retail and specialty shops, and business, professional, and civic uses characteristic of
a traditional downtown area. The Petitioner is seeking a Conditional Use permit because the development has
dwellings on the first floor. The project would be a permitted use and not require a Conditional Use permit if it
included a retail component on the ground floor.
Site Plan - The attached site plan illustrates the proposed layout for the 3-unit rowhome development. The
development consists of one building with the front elevation along Prospect Ave. and the rear elevation along
PZ-38-07
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting December 13, 2007
Page 3
Busse Avenue; vehicles will access to the development from Busse Avenue. The orientation of the Subject
Property to the surrounding properties dictates classifying the Prospect A venue property line as the front lot line.
Although the Subject Property is zoned B5, some setbacks regulations are applicable to the project because the
existing buildings on Prospect A venue were developed with a front setback, which dictates the rowhome
development having a front setback (Sec. 14.1905.B). Also, the single family residences to. the south triggers a
transitional setback requirement (Sec. 14.l905.F). The following table lists the Bulk Regulations for the B5
District, and the italicized text denotes setbacks that require relief from the Village's Bulk Regulations.
ard
Building Design - The enclosed elevations indicate the architectural composition of the rowhomes. The units are
3-story rowhomes, with attached rear loading garages on the first floor, and a balcony above it. Each of the
rowhome units would have a separate entrance, a two-car garage, and the ability to park two cars behind each
garage. The development includes a 10'xI2' patio for each unit along Prospect Avenue.
The Petitioner prepared elevations to indicate the general look of the building. The building materials for the
exterior elevations include face brick and decorative CMU on the ground floor. The elevations indicate the front
elevation will include expansive windows, sliding glass doors, and a wrought iron "Juliet" balcony. The rear
elevations include the balcony, accessed by a sliding glass door, several typical windows, and the 2-car garage
door. The proposed east elevation (Prospect/Elmhurst intersection) calls for mostly a solid wall comprised of
brick face and decorative CMU, broken up by one window. As that is a highly visible elevation, Staff
recommends revising it to include multiple decorative windows and or some sort of design elements that create
architectural interest. In general, Staff finds the elevations to reflect a single family detached design, not in
keeping with a traditional downtown rowhome design.
The building will have a peaked roof and the HV AC equipment would be located at grade, adjacent to the
garages. The height of the building measured at the midpoint is 31.25' which requires relief from the Zoning
Ordinance as the height limitation in the B5 District is 30' from the mid-point of the roof.
The Petitioner's plans indicate wall mounted lights will be installed. This was called out in response to the Police
Department's requirements. Also, the Crime Prevention Unit requires that the addresses be installed under the
photocell light fixtures and that the front and rear of the units display the address. This will ensure optimal
visibility/identification for emergency vehicles.
Parking - The Petitioner's proposal indicates each unit would include 3 bedrooms plus a recreation room in the
basement, which could be converted to a bedroom or an office. The Village Code requires 2 Y2 parking spaces per
dwelling unit (for multiple-family dwellings containing 3 bedrooms or more). The Petitioner's proposal contains
a 2-car garage plus two driveway parking spaces per unit. In addition, on-street parking is available; however the
on-street spaces are not available for overnight parking.
Lot Coverage - The B5 District does not have a lot coverage limitation. However, the Petitioner's Development
Data sheet indicates that the project would have approximately 24% lot coverage. The project is subject to all
development requirements as detailed in Sec. 15.402 of the Village Code.
PZ-38-07
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting December 13, 2007
Page 4
Landscape Plan - The Petitioner's landscape plan indicates that a variety of new landscaping materials will be
planted throughout the development. The landscape plan indicates that shade and ornamental trees will be the
primary screening material around the perimeter of the Subject Property. Flowering shrubs and Arborvitae will
be installed along the foundation of the units and the patios.
Engineering - The Petitioner submitted preliminary storm water detention plans as part of their initial submittal.
However, the site is eligible to participate in the Village's 'fee in lieu or program (Sec. 16.606). The Petitioner is
required to prepare site engineering plans as part of the Building permit process and Staff will review the plans at
that time to confirm code compliance.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING
The property is located along a collector street and it is adjacent to 3-flat apartment building, single family
residences, and offices. The recently updated Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the subject properties as
Central Commercial, which calls for "a dense, intensive land use pattern focusing on an urban style of
development and architecture." The Comp Plan further notes that the Central Commercial areas should contain a
mix of land uses, allowing for high density residential developments.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
As previously noted, the proposal does not comply with the B5 Bulk Regulations. The following table provides
zoning district information for the property's proposed zoning classification and summarizes the proposed
setbacks.

VARIATION STANDARDS
The standards for a Variation are listed in Section l4.203.C.9 ofthe Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven
specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. The following list is a summary of these
findings:
· A hardship due to the physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not
generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person
presently having an interest in the property;
· Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and
· Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character.
Prior to accepting this proposal, Staff met with the Petitioner several times. The project went through several
modifications to create a design that works within the physical site constraints of an irregular lot shape and the
required transitional setbacks.
PZ-38-07
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting December 13, 2007
Page 5
The Zoning Ordinance requires a front and rear setback although the property is zoned B5, a district that typically
does not have setback requirements. One of the reasons for the proposed rear setback Variation stems from the
Petitioner providing a 3-foot interior side yard setback and wanting to preserve green space along the east lot Jine.
Per Code, the buiJding couJd be built up to the side lot lines, but the Petitioner decided a 3-foot setback wouJd be
more appropriate as the residents may appreciate allowing for some ventilation and or window access. If the
building had a O-interior setback, the buiJding could be shifted west, creating less of an encroachment into the rear
yard. However, the balconies would still encroach into the rear setback. The balcony and patio encroachments
will have a minor impact on the adjacent properties and the character of the neighborhood because, while each are
technically structures, the patios and balconies are unenclosed and would remain unenclosed.
The Petitioner included a peaked roofline to be in keeping with the adjacent single family residences. However,
in order to have the peaked roof and still have adequate ceiJing heights, relief from the maximum building height
is required as the building measure 1.25-feet more than the maximum height permitted in the B5 District. The
Petitioner has the option of reducing the ceiling height from 9-feet to 8-feet for the main floor, but it was
expJained to Staff that the additional foot creates a roomier, bigger space, which is integral to the rowhome
design.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for ConditionaJ Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include
seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a summary
of these findings:
· The Conditional Use will not have a detrimentaJ impact on the public health, safety, moraJs, comfort or
general weJfare;
· The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or vaJue of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
· There is adequate provision for utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion
on Village streets; and
· The request is in compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan,
Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances.
The proposal is not consistent with the surrounding land uses aJong Prospect Avenue. The predominant Jand use
aJong Prospect between Central Road and Rt. 83 is retaiJ and office. Staff believes that the Subject Property is
best suited for a mixed use project with offices on the first floor or as an office only development.
RECOMMENDA TION
The proposed ConditionaJ Use and Variation requests fails to meet the standards for each request as listed in the
Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission deny the
following motion:
"To approve:
J) a Conditional Use permit for a 3-unit rowhome development subject to:
a. The three (3) separate lots must be consolidated.
PZ-38-07
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting December 13, 2007
Page 6
b. The right of way at the intersection of Busse A venue and Elmhurst A venue should be squared off. The
curved sidewalk should be removed, and new sidewalk along Busse A venue should be installed to the
corner.
c. Development of the site in general conformance with the site plan and landscape prepared by Paul
Swanson Associates, dated November 8, 2007;
d. Development of the units in general conformance with the floor plans prepared by Paul Swanson
Associates, dated November 8, 2007;
e. Development of the elevations in general conformance with the site plan prepared by Paul Swanson
Associates, dated November 8, 2007 but revised so the east elevation includes architectural interest;
f. Prior to obtaining the first Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner must submit homeowner's
association documents for Staff review and approval that include text stating on-street over night
parking is prohibited; and
g. The Petitioner shall construct all units according to all Village Codes and regulations, including, but not
limited to: the installation of automatic fire sprinklers.
2) Variation approval to allow:
a) 13' front yard (Prospect Avenue)
b) 25' rear yard (Busse Ave.)
c) 31.25' building height (midpoint)."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case, 309-17 W. Prospect Avenue, Case No. PZ-38-07.

RE: Office Development, .309 ~ ProspectAvenue, MI. Prospect, IL
Dear Mr. Swanson:
I have reviewed your concept plan to develop either a 1750 SF single story professional
office building or a 1400 SF single story medllcal building on the subject parcel.
I would strongly advise you not to do either. In general, the northwest suburban market
and in particular the Mt. Prospect area has.a large vacanCY factor,. and had very little net
absorption in 2007. The prospects are no better for 2008.
Specifically, your site is too small to be economically feasible, and its location, although
it is within walking distance to the train, is in a secondary (arbest) location. It would be
very difficult to market effectively,
In conclusion, because of the high cost of construction and the reasons stated above, I
would recommend you not develop any commercial on this parcel.
Sincerely,
CB RICHARD ELLIS

Mount Prospect, IL 60056
Dear Mr. Swanson,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review your plans
and drawings for the three town homes proposed for the corner of
Prospect Ave, Elmhurst Ave and Busse Ave. Based on my 35 years of
experience and expertise as a real estate broker, first with my own real
estate company, National Sunrise Realty in Arlington Heights, and then
since November of 2002 as a broker/associate with RE/MAX Suburban at
330 E Northwest Highway in Mount Prospect, I believe this is a first class
project worth doing, that would fit perfectly into the vibrant new look
Mount Prospect has started to create in the last several years.
I have focused my marketing and branding in Mount Prospect as
"Mr. Mt. Prospect" from the beginning of my career; and have listed and
sold over 600 properties in Mount Prospect alone. When I reviewed what
you intended to build, where you intended to build it and the price point
at which you intended to be ($450-000-$500,000), I am genuinely
excited and certain about your prospects for success, regardless of the
general market conditions. I would be likewise excited about
representing you as the broker. I was involved in selling one of the town
homes just east of "Mrs. P & Me" a feV\' years ago. Those all sold for
$515,000-$570,000 and yours are son1ewhat similar.
The real estate adage of the three most important things in
making real estate valuable is true in your project. That is location,
location, location. Walking distance to town, train, shops, and stores is
_ .L..-.!1 1 _ 1_ ~ _ __ 1_ _ _ ... _ ~ _1 ___ _ 1_ _ 1_ _ _ _ _ III T 11'1 .. '1 " .., .. .., ,

of high quality town homes fits perfectly with the overwhelming
residential nature of the neighborhood. The idea of another small
business building in that location leaves me cold. In my opinion, the
aesthetics of the town home development enhance the look of Prospect
Ave which I can't imagine being improved by a small commercial
building.
My best wishes for your success. I hope you get approval because
it will be a big plus for Mount Prospect's image as well
Sincerely,
Jim Regan

RE: 309 - 317 Prospect fiscal impact analysis
Dear Mr. Swanson:
Per your request, attached please find the revised fiscal impact analysis for the
proposed 309 - 317 Prospect Avenue townhome development. As you will note my
analysis indicates a positive fiscal benefit to schools districts 214 and 57 and no
impact on the Village of Mt. Prospect. The report also considers the impact of an
office development on the subject property. As you will note, the townhomes provide
a significantly greater benefit, especially to the school districts, than does the office
development.
If you have any questions, or need any additional information, please let me know.

Fiscal Impact Analysis & Comparison of Development Alternatives
for 309 -317 Prospect Avenue, Mount Prospect, Illinois
The following study is an analysis of the general fiscal impact of the proposed 309-
317 Prospect Avenue on the various taxing bodies that provide services to the subject
property. The subject property is located at the intersection of Prospect Avenue and
Elmhurst Avenue, north of Busse Avenue The current proposal calls for the
development of approximately of three townhomes. Each of the townhomes will
approximately 2,400 square feet including the attached two car garage(s). Projected
sales prices for each of the units is $465.000.00. This results in a total fair market
value for the project of$I,395,000.00.
It is important to note that the primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate the
relationship between revenues and expenses that is attributable to the proposed
development. All projected revenues and expenses are expressed in current dollars
and are predicated on 2006 tax rates. Over time, the value of this development will
rise, tax rates may fluctuate, and the cost of providing services will probably increase.
This study makes no attempt to speculate on any of these variables, but rather
provides a view of current conditions. Based upon our experience, we believe that in
general the relationship expressed in this study between revenues and expenditures
will remain relatively constant. In all likelihood the three townhomes will be sold
within a twelve month period, however, for the purposes of this study it is assumed
that the development is fully occupied. This scenario is chosen since tax rates,
expenditures and school funding will undoubtedly change. Since the purpose of this
study is to explore the relationship between revenues and expenses this is a rational
methodology.
Because this study must of necessity rely upon 2006 property tax rates as well as
current Village of Mount Prospect budget figures, and School District 57 and School
District 214 costs to educate students, this study will, as noted earlier, hypothesize
that the development is fully built and occupied. While the fair market value of
$1,395,000.00 is a reasonable estimate, it has been our experience that the Cook
County Assessor rarely uses the fair market value as projected. Therefore for the
purposes of this study we have reduced the fair market value by ten percent to
$1,255,500.00. Residential units as in this subject development are assessed at 16%
of fair market value in Cook County. This results in an assessed fair market value of
$200,880.00. The current state equalizer for Cook County is 2.7076; as applied to the
subject property this results in an equalized fair market value of $543,900.00. 1 Table
1, on the following page indicates the projected property tax revenues to the various
taxing bodies serving the subject development.

VILLAGE OF MT. PROPSECT FINANCIAL IMP ACT ANA YL YSIS:
For purposes of this analysis expenses are estimated using a proportionality ratio
method. This methodology assumes that the Village ofMt. Prospect expends an
identical sum to provide services, such as police patrols, public works and
administrative services throughout the village regardless of the land use the streets
serve. The Village of Mt. Prospect Comprehensive Plan indicates a current
population of 56,265 resident to whom the village provides services. The subject
development is expected to generate a total population of seven residents represents
approximately 0.00012% of Village population. The Village ofMt. Prospect
operating budget for 2006 was approximately 48.6 million dollars. Proportionally,
this would represent an annual expenditure of $5,800.00 to provide services to the
three proposed townhomes. Real estate tax revenues to the Village ofMt. Prospect
from the project are estimated at $4,600.00. Revenues from other sources including
local sales tax rebates from the state, photo-processing sales tax, income tax
redistribution, motor fuel tax, fines and penalties, franchise fees, 911 line charge,
utility tax revenue, and interest revenue have historically averaged $200.00 per
resident, or approximately $1,400.00.

SCHOOL(S) FINANCIAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
In most Cook County suburbs, the local school districts will account for 50 to 75% of
the real estate tax bill. In the current analysis, School District 57 and High School
District 214 account for 59% of the total real estate tax levy.
Table 1 below entitled "Adults & School A2ed Children Per Household"
utilizes demographic data complied by the Illinois School Consulting
Service ofNaperville, Illinois. Currently it is anticipated that the three
townhomes will feature two bedrooms and an office and/or flex space, we
have calculated the projected population using both two and three bedroom
projections.
Annual Fiscal Impact to Hi2h School District #214
The proposed development is projected to enroll no high school students. Property
tax revenues are estimated at $9,915.00 annually.
Annual Fiscal Impact to Elementary School District #57
The proposed development is projected to enroll no more than one student. Revenues
from real estate taxes are estimated to be $14,650.00 annually.

AL TERNA TIVE DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS:
The Village planning staff has raised the question as to whether offices might be a
more appropriate use for the subject site. A preliminary site plan, appended to this
report, indicates a maximum gross leasable area (GLA) of 1,750 square feet. The
GLA is a function of the number of parking spaces the site can support and the
recognition that market conditions will not support the costs associated with under
ground parking or an elevator.
Office rentals in the Village of Mount Prospect for similar offices are averaging
$15.00 per square foot. Older offices, such as in those to the east on Prospect Ave.,
are averaging $10.00 per square foot. Therefore, we believe an annual rent of $15.00
per square foot is reasonable. This would result in a capitalized fair market values of
$250.00 per square foot. This results in a fair market value for the offices of
$250,000.00.
In Cook County office space is assessed at 40% of fair market value. While the fair
market value of $250,000.00 is a reasonable estimate, as with the residential
assessment it has been our experience that the Cook County Assessor rarely uses the
fair market value as projected. Therefore for the purposes of this study we have
reduced the fair market value by ten percent to $225,000.00. The current state
equalizer for Cook County is 2.7076; as applied to the subject property this results in
an equalized fair market value of $543,900.00. Table 2, on the following page
indicates the projected property tax revenues to the various taxing bodies serving the
subject development. Therefore, the equalized assessed valuation (EA V) for offices
would be $243,685.00.

CONCLUSION:
The proposed three townhomes will have a positive fiscal benefit to school districts
214 and 57 and will be a break even proposition for the Village of Mount Prospect.
Furthermore the townhomes have a greater financial benefit to the school districts
than the projected office development. In fact the fair market value of the office
development would have to be more than one hundred percent greater than projected
to have the same benefits.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. After roll call, Chairman Rogers stated that
they have the minimum amount of Planning and Zoning Commission Members for a quorum. In order for a case
to receive a positive recommendation, a unanimous vote must occur. The voting for the minutes from the January
24, 2008 meeting were held over until the next meeting since only two members were present from that meeting.
After hearing two previous cases, Chairman Rogers introduced case number PZ-37-07, a request for a Conditional
Use (Planned Unit Development/Mixed Use Commercial and Residential) approval at 6-34 W. Busse Ave., 12-20
W. Northwest Hwy., and the easternmost 10' of Wille Street right of way adjacent to the property, at 8:14 p.m.
William Cooney, Director of Community Development, stated that the request was for a Planned Unit
Development on the property known as the "Small Triangle" or "Sub Area I." He showed some pictures of the
area. He said that this was one of five sub areas highlighted by the AD HOC Committee in 2004 when they
reviewed potential re-development options in the downtown area.
Mr. Cooney gave a brief history of downtown re-development for the Village. Mr. Cooney also provided an
analysis of current conditions. He said the attributes for the Small Triangle included its historical significance,

Page 2
existing businesses, and affordable rents. The challenges that Mr. Cooney presented were its minimal private
investment, functional structural obsolescence, stagnant property values, and lack of parking.
Mr. Cooney stated recent Village actions for the area. These actions included: pursued an extension of Tax
Increment Funding (TIF) through 2021, the Mayor and Staff held individual meetings with business and property
owners in Sub Area 1, and pursued acquisition of remaining properties. Mr. Cooney said that the developer has
also pursued remaining properties as well. He also mentioned that the Village has entered negotiations with the
Heimbaugh Capital Development Corporation (HCDC).
Mr. Cooney said that HCDC would be presenting their development concept and asked the public to voice their
opinions as well.
Chairman Rogers restated that the proposal is for a Conditional Use (Planned Unit Development), he said because
it is a Planned Unit Development, certain density requirements can be within ranges and other items could be
discussed.
Mr. Cooney stated that the actual project meets almost all codes. He said that a portion of the western tower
exceeds the 80 foot height maximum. He stated that this was the architectural feature. He also said there are 107
parking spaces for commercial (public) parking. There is approximately 35,000 square feet of retail space and by
code, there would need to be 137 spaces. Mr. Cooney stated that there were provisions for off site parking in the
Village parking deck as well as the adjacent Metra lot on Northwest Hwy.
Chairman Rogers swore in John Heimbaugh, President of HCDC, 666 Dundee Rd, Northbrook, IL and Mike
Fitzgerald, OKW Architects, 600 W. Jackson, Chicago, IL. Mr. Heimbaugh explained the history of HCDC and
provided HCDC's credentials. He highlighted mixed use developments previously built by HCDC.
Mr. Fitzgerald gave a brief profile of OKW Architects and provided pictures of similar mixed use projects that
OKW has completed in Evanston, Wheaton, Palatine, and Mount Prospect (Founders Row).
Mr. Fitzgerald said the proposal includes a mixed use project of retail and residential along with a parking garage
to serve both uses. The East building (along Main St.) will include retail on the ground floor with residential units
above. The West and North buildings would be connected. The West building would have retail on the ground
floor with residential above. The North building will be the parking structure with residential units above. Mr.
Fitzgerald created a scale showing the project.
Mr. Fitzgerald discussed the floor plans for all three buildings including the plaza that is between the East and
West buildings. The retail would be along Main St. and extend throughout the plaza with the remaining retail
primarily running along Northwest Hwy. He also addressed residential access points throughout the buildings.
Mr. Fitzgerald stated that they have made some adjustments since the Committee of the Whole Meeting on March
11,2008. He said the East building would be shifted back 12 feet to allow more sidewalk space along Northwest
Hwy. He stated that the East building would be pushed off Main St. as well. The West building has been shifted
by 8 feet to allow more room on the sidewalk along Northwest Hwy. Mr. Fitzgerald said this also allowed for 9
parallel parking spaces along Northwest Hwy.
Mr. Fitzgerald said vehicular access to the site would be at two locations. The first would be on the West side off
of Wille St. and the second would be from the Village parking lot directly North of the site. Mr. Fitzgerald stated
that the parking garage would serve the commercial patrons as well as the residents. He said there are 107
parking spaces for commercial use; this is a ratio of 3.13 spaces per 1000 square feet of retail space. He stated
that this ratio does not include the public parking off site or the nine proposed spaces along Northwest Hwy.

Mr. Fitzgerald said there was another revision of the loading zone due to the concerns provided by neighbors. He
said the proposed loading zone would be North of the parking garage and would run parallel to the building as
opposed to running perpendicular as originally proposed. He said there would be a cut-in to the curb and the
loading zone would allow two lanes of traffic to pass by. He stated that trucks would no longer block any access
via the Village parking lot.
Mr. Fitzgerald said the garage access point on the North side of the structure does not align with the garage access
for the condo building to the North. He did mention that even though they do not align, they are directly across
from one another and it allows for drivers to make visual contact for entering and exiting their respective
structures.
Mr. Fitzgerald discussed other service elements for the buildings.
Chairman Rogers swore in Michael Worthman, of KLOA Inc. Mr. Worthman stated that he is a licensed
professional engineer with the State of Illinois. He said he was retained to complete a traffic study for the
proposed development.
Mr. Worthman stated that both access drives will lead commercial patrons and residents to their respective parking
areas. He said by having two access drives on two different roads provides the site with the maximum access
flexibility.
Mr. Worthman discussed concerns from the previous meeting regarding traffic in the Village parking lot directly
North of the site. He looked at the traffic volumes and stated they are low. Mr. Worthman stated that there are
between 40-45 vehicles within the peak hours. He said the parking lot has been safely designed for the
development.
Mr. Worthman said that neighbors suggested at the last meeting eliminating access to the site from the North. He
does not advocate this because it decreases the flexibility. He also believes that if access was eliminated that there
would still be a significant volume of traffic for the site utilizing the parking lot to the North. He said the access
drive would allow traffic to move quicker.
Mr. Worthman stated that there are currently no crosswalks on Main St. / Busse Ave. and Northwest Hwy. / Wille
St. Mr. Worthman said there is a proposed median/pedestrian refuge area. He will discuss this with the Illinois
Department of Transportation based on Staff's suggestions.
Mr. Fitzgerald discussed the commercial and residential parking plans. He said for the residential parking, there
are a total of 105 units that will be using 168 parking spaces (1.6 cars per unit).
Mr. Fitzgerald showed site sections, elevations, and discussed that the buildings would be made of brick with
limestone detailing.
Chairman Rogers said that parking in downtown Mount Prospect is a real problem. He believed that the parking
presented was not adequate. Chairman Rogers asked Mr. Fitzgerald the total number of bedrooms.
Mr. Fitzgerald did not have the total number of bedrooms, but he did discuss the sizes of the units.
Mr. Cooney said the parking for the four projects that have been approved in the downtown area have a parking
ratio ranging from 1.38 to 1.5. Mr. Cooney stated the only complaints that have been presented to him regarding
parking were by the residences to the North of the proposed site. He believed that the marketing people
misinformed residents that they could park their vehicles overnight in the Village's parking lot. Mr. Cooney said
he has not received any parking complaints from the condo owners at the Clocktower, Lofts, or Emerson building.

Chairman Rogers said he understands that the lot to the North of the proposed development is a thoroughfare
owned by the Village. Mr. Cooney confirmed that the Village owns the lot. He stated that there are easements
over the right access to the Residents development to the North and existing commercial to the South. Mr.
Cooney said that the lot was designated as guest parking for the visitors and for the businesses to the South. Mr.
Cooney advised that it was never intended for overnight parking.
Keith Youngquist asked what would stop residents from parking overnight in the proposed parking garage. Mr.
Cooney stated that the Village would own the public portion of the parking lot and there would be no parking
from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.
Chairman Rogers confirmed that the proposed parking garage would have similar hours like the parking deck
North of Village Hall. Chairman Rogers said residents to the North of the proposed site could park in the public
portion of the proposed garage. Mr. Cooney said the Village enforces parking regulations in the downtown area
from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., in two hour zones. He said most of the downtown is unlimited parking from 6 p.m. to 2
a.m.
There was general discussion on whether the residential portion of the proposed parking garage would be heated.
Mr. Fitzgerald confirmed that it would be partially conditioned, but not a heated garage.
Leo Floros asked how many restaurants the Petitioners envision in this proposed development. Mr. Heimbaugh
said that there would be more than two. He said restaurant patrons would utilize the public parking. Mr.
Heimbaugh stated that a busy Saturday night would not be sufficient parking, he explained that is why the
adjacent parking would be used.
Mr. Youngquist led a discussion on another business in the downtown area. He believed downtown Mount
Prospect is not a walk-able community. He believed that people utilizing the adjacent lots and crossing at a
variety of places would create a dangerous situation.
Mr. Cooney stated that by closing Busse Ave. would create a pedestrian zone at Main St. and Wille St. He said if
this development becomes an entertainment zone with restaurants that will be busy beyond rush hour (6 p.m. - 7
p.m.). Mr. Cooney said traffic counts drop dramatically and it would be an easy walk across the street with a
halfway zone in the middle of the streets. Mr. Cooney stated that the proposed development is very accessible
from a pedestrian standpoint.
Chairman Rogers discussed the possibility of putting a crosswalk in the center of the walkway courtyard. Mr.
Cooney said that the chances would not be good; he does not believe the State would give this via mid-block.
There was general discussion that continued regarding walking and driving in downtown Mount Prospect.
Chairman Rogers stated that people have two or three cars. He said parking is a problem. He stated it is not fair
to add more units when parking is already a problem. Chairman Rogers said he would like to see more parking
spaces in the proposed garage.
There was general discussion regarding the signature elements of the building.
Mr. Floros said he loves the look of the site and welcomes this style to the downtown.
Marlys Haaland was very pleased with the proposed site.

Chairman Rogers asked if the Petitioners had a chance to review comments from Staff regarding the additional
items that need compliance of this proposal was approved. The Petitioners agreed.
Mr. Worthman said 1.6 is a sufficient ratio as surveys and census data support this number.
Chairman Rogers swore in Jonean Ford, 5 W. Central, Mount Prospect, IL. Ms. Ford said the proposed garage
faces the North building and she is concerned with the metallic industrial look. She stated that half the units to
the North look out on the courtyard and face the South parking lot. She wanted to know if the Petitioners could
do anything to clean up the look.
Ms. Ford is also concerned with traffic. She said the Residences condo has to use the Village parking lot for
entering and exiting. She is concerned with additional parking spots for the proposed development.
Mr. Floros asked Ms. Ford if the traffic in the Village parking lot could go either direction. Ms. Ford said yes.
Chairman Rogers asked Ms. Ford how many trucks are currently in the loading area. Ms. Ford said that since the
Blues Bar was added, quite a few large trucks, one or two trucks at a time. She is concerned if more restaurants
come in, this would mean more trucks would be unloading.
Chairman Rogers swore in Wilma Galassine, 20 S. Main St., Mount Prospect, IL. Ms. Galassine said her condo
overlooks the triangle. She sees large semis for the Blues Bar and garbage trucks for pick-up. She said it is
crowded. Ms. Galassine questioned emergency access to the proposed site and what type of security would be in
place for the garage.
Chairman Rogers swore in Carol Tortorello, 223 S. Elmhurst Ave., Mount Prospect, IL. Ms. Tortorello read a list
of reasons why the proposed development was a bad idea. This list ranged from the design of the development to
also what would be done for snow removal. She also addressed issues with traffic, parking, and for the lack of
request for proposals.
Chairman Rogers swore in Robert Gniech, 10 S. Wille, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Gniech does not like the design
and views parking in the Village lot to the North of the development to be a major issue. He would like to view
another site.
Chairman Rogers swore in Carl Johnson, 11 S. Wille, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Johnson agrees with Chairman
Rogers in regards to the parking. He believes that parking in the downtown area is a problem. He stated that the
traffic study was completed before the closure of Busse Ave. Mr. Johnson believes that the Village parking lot
would be used more by drivers to cut through to Northwest Hwy. He asked if a no left turn sign could be placed
at Main Street and the parking lot to eliminate some of the traffic.
Chairman Rogers swore in James Grady, 40 E. Northwest Hwy., Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Grady wanted to know
the height of the buildings. He also wanted to know if other projects could be considered. Mr. Grady also asked
what the zoning is for the proposed development.
Mr. Cooney said the zoning for the site and the area bounded by Central Road, Northwest Hwy., and roughly
Emerson St. is B-5C. Mr. Cooney stated that B-5 Core allows mixed-use developments built throughout the
downtown area.
Mr. Grady said he was concerned with limitation on the type of businesses and he wanted to know how the
residents above these developments are protected. Mr. Grady led a discussion regarding Elements Fitness and
what restrictions fitness gyms would have on hours of operation, etc.
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 27, 2008
PZ-37-07
Page 6
Mr. Cooney said that Elements had to obtain a Conditional Use for their operation, but that a 24 hour convenience
store would be permitted in the downtown area. Mr. Cooney stated that 24 hour businesses are part of the mixed
use lifestyle. He summarized that certain uses may need a Conditional Use and some do not.
Mr. Grady concluded his statements by saying that parking at the Emerson building is a problem.
Chairman Rogers swore in Joanna ChalIacombe, I I S. Wille, Mount Prospect, IL. She said the plan was
beautiful, but also has concerns for the parking. She asked if the number of units could be reduced above the
proposed parking garage. She stated that parking in her building is a 1.3 ratio and is inadequate. She stated a 2
bedroom unit in her building with 2 adults only has 1 parking space. Ms. Challacombe had additional concerns
about whether or not this would be considered a green building.
Ms. Challacombe said she crossed Main St. at 7:30 p.m. to attend the meeting and had no problems. She believed
that the Village should encourage walking and biking and she hasn't heard the Petitioners discuss bike parking in
the proposed development. Ms. Challacombe concluded by asking what would restrict Metra train riders from
parking in the public garage and taking the train.
Chairman Rogers asked the Petitioners to address some of the questions and concerns addressed by the residents.
Mr. Fitzgerald stated that bike storage would be provided in the proposed buildings. He mentioned that all of his
projects look at green principles and strategies. He did not know if the proposed development would be LEEDs
(green) certified.
Chairman Rogers asked about the structure of the buildings. Mr. Fitzgerald said the building structure would be a
poured place concrete system and steel frame precast plank system. The buildings would be sound proof and
stated that they would have to abide by Village Code. Mr. Fitzgerald discussed the heights of the buildings. He
said that they would work with Staff regarding garage security.
Mr. Cooney stated that the public component of the proposed garage would be patrolled by Police. It will be well
lit at all times and there would not be a security guard.
Chairman Rogers asked what the Village would do for people parking in the public portion of the garage during
the daytime and riding the train. Mr. Cooney said they would be ticketed as most of the downtown parking is for
two hours.
Mr. Fitzgerald discussed emergency vehicle access. He said the development is surrounded by roads with access
from four points and the plaza could be engineered to support emergency vehicles. Mr. Fitzgerald stated for every
project he has completed, parking has been an issue. He said to go from a 1.3 ratio to a 1.6 would equal adding
60 spaces.
Mr. Heimbaugh said ifhe took all of the units larger than 1 bedroom and assigns 2 parking spaces, it would be 75
units and 150 parking spaces. He continued by stating each I bedroom unit has 1 space for each of the 30 units.
This would create a total of 180 parking spaces at a 1.7 ratio. The proposed development has 169 total spaces for
residential that equal the 1.6 ratio as proposed. Mr. Heimbaugh stated that he has never had every 2 bedroom unit
purchase 2 parking spaces. He said the absolute maximum would be a 1.7 ratio.
Chairman Rogers said that he understood the ratio, but stated that there is currently a parking problem and the
proposal would add to the problem. He said by trying to eliminate some of the parking issues and make sure the
Petitioners do not aggravate the issue.
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 27, 2008
PZ-37-07
Page 7
Mr. Youngquist asked if it was the intention to sell the parking spaces. Mr. Heimbaugh said that 1 parking space
is included when a unit is purchased. A second space can be purchased.
Chairman Rogers asked the possibility of a no left turn sign from Northbound Main St. into the Village parking
lot. Mr. Worthman stated that he met with the Village's Engineering Staff. He mentioned that Staff was very
comfortable with what was being proposed with the current design. Mr. Worthman agreed that the traffic would
need to be monitored and if changes needed to be made, they would be. He said this could be accomplished at a
later date.
Chairman Rogers asked about snow removal from the property. Mr. Heimbaugh stated that it would be piled into
the middle of the plaza. He discussed the possibility of heating portions of the public plaza pavement to minimize
the amount of snow build up.
Chairman Rogers questioned the look of the parking garage. Mr. Heimbaugh said that they could minimize the
amount of metal on the parking structure and increase the masonry.
Mr. Cooney discussed emergency access and stated that an ambulance could drive through the plaza. He said that
the Fire Department has reviewed the plans and did not indicate any concerns. Mr. Cooney advised that Staff
could follow-up on emergency access.
Mr. Floros asked if it was possible to increase the amount of parking without impacting the existing plans. Mr.
Heimbaugh stated that they have two options. One would be to alter the ratio between public and private parking
and the second would be to reduce the number of residential units.
Discussion continued with the Commission and Petitioners regarding the parking ratio.
Chairman Rogers asked if the Petitioners could increase the size of the parking garage. Mr. Fitzgerald replied by
asking what the Planning and Zoning would be comfortable with. Chairman Rogers said 200 spaces or at least a
1.7 ratio.
Mr. Youngquist is concerned with the location of the proposed parking garage to the North. He believed that
guests of the condos would take up spaces in the public portion of the parking garage.
Mr. Fitzgerald said in order to gain a 1.7 ratio, he said they could remove the penthouse units in the East building
and that would reduce the overall units to 101. Then there would be 168 spaces and they would need to find a
couple more spaces to bring the total to 170 or a ratio of 1.7.
Chairman Rogers asked if there was an easier way to pick up the additional spaces by increasing the size.
Mr. Youngquist said that he did not have a problem with the 1.6 ratio for residential parking; the issue is with the
size of the public portion ofthe proposed garage.
Further discussion continued regarding utilizing the downtown parking deck and the Metra lot.
Mr. Floros made a motion to approve case PZ-37-07, a request to approve a Conditional Use (Planned Unit
Development/Mixed Use Commercial and Residential) at 6-34 W. Busse Ave., 12-20 W. Northwest Hwy., and the
easternmost 10' of Wille Street right of way adjacent to the property; Ms. Haaland seconded the motion.
Chairman Rogers said he wanted to add an amendment to take a second look at the parking to be a part of the
motion. He would like to see an increase. Mr. Floros said at least a parking ratio of 1.7.
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 27, 2008

Page 8
Mr. Cooney stated that the Staff's recommendation includes for a Variation to approve the maximum height of
88.6 feet and a request of a Variance for parking from 137 to 107 for the commercial component in the motion.
Mr. Floros said he will support this proposal as it represents change for Mount Prospect. He discussed the reasons
why he liked the proposal.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Floros, Haaland, Rogers
NAYS: Youngquist
Chairman Rogers said there was a 3-1 vote. This case moves onto the Village Board without the Planning and
Zoning's approval. He stated that it would take a super majority vote from the Village Board for approval.
Keith Youngquist made a motion to adjourn at 10:30 p.m. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the
meeting was adjourned.

SUBJECT:
PZ-37-07 - PHASE 1 OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT TOWN CENTER (HEIMBAUGH
CAPn AL DEVELOPMENT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the March 27, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by Heimbaugh Capital Development Corp. (the "Petitioner), regarding the property commonly
known as the "small triangle" and/or sub-area # 1 (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking approval of a
Conditional Use permit for a Planned Unit Development. The P&Z Commission hearing was properly noticed in
the March 12,2008 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written
notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted Public Hearing signs on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located northwest of the intersection of Northwest Highway and Main Street, and contains
existing retail buildings with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned B-5C Core Commercial
District and is bordered by the B-5C Core Commercial District to the east, north, and west, and the 1-2 Railroad
District to the south. The Metra railroad tracks are located across Northwest Highway to the south of the Subject
Property.
SUMMARY
The Petitioner proposes a complete redevelopment of the subject parcels with the exception of the existing Blues
Bar Restaurant. The existing restaurant will be incorporated into the overall development plan for the property.
As proposed, the project will be performed in two phases and will consist of the construction of three new mixed-
use buildings. The project will ultimately incorporate approximately 35,000 sq. ft. of new retail space, 105
residential units, and structured parking for 276 vehicles. Phase one of the project includes the construction of the
seven-story west building and five-story north building. The seven-story structure will consist of 19,475 sq. ft of
retail space on the building's first floor, with fifty-five (55) residential condominium units on the building's upper
levels. The north five-story structure will include the structured parking spaces and an additional four (4)
condominium units and six (6) duplex units. The total number of residential units in phase one will therefore be
sixty-five (65) units. Phase two will involve the construction of the remaining six-story east building. This final
phase will include 15,990 sq. ft. of retail space on the building's first floor, and forty (40) condominium units on
the upper levels.

As part ofthe redevelopment of the subject parcels, the right-of-way for Busse Avenue, between Wille Street and
Main Street, and a portion of the right-of-way for Wille Street will be vacated and incorporated into the project.
The proposed project is consistent with the planning design principles for a Transit Oriented Development (TOD).
TOD is a design concept that speaks to a mixed-use environment surrounding a transit station. The goal of a TOD
district is to provide uses within close proximity to one another that allow individuals to walk from one location to
another. Ideally, TOD districts require a good mix of uses including residential, retail, and service oriented office
uses. To create a comfortable pedestrian environment, TOD's require wider sidewalks (greater than 10 feet) and
other streetscape elements such as planting beds, benches, and transparency at the street level of buildings. The
existing central core district of Mount Prospect has developed over time to create a viable TOD district which
incorporates several of these design principles. The proposed mixed-use development is consistent with transit
oriented design and will further enhance the amenities provided within the downtown area.
Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development - The Subject Property is currently zoned B-5C Core
Commercial District, and the Petitioner is requesting approval of a conditional use permit for a mixed-use Planned
Unit Development. According to the Village's Zoning Code, mixed commercial and residential developments
require approval of a planned unit development (PUD). The PUD process allows for unified zoning control over
the entire development, which would require formal Village approval if any modifications were proposed to the
development in the future. The underlying B-5C district allows for a maximum density of thirty (30) dwelling
units per acre, with PUD standards allowing this density to be increased to a maximum density of eighty (80)
dwelling units per acre. The Petitioner's proposal includes a density of fifty-three (53) units per acre (105
units/I.98 acres), which falls below the maximum density permitted within a PUD located in the B-5C District.
Site Plan - The attached site plan illustrates the proposed layout for the mixed-use development. As designed, the
buildings will utilize a build forward design which will create a uniform street presence for the development and
adjacent properties. As proposed building setbacks along Northwest Highway, Wille Street (after ROW
vacation), and the public lot to the north will be zero feet, while the building setback along Main Street is 7 feet.
The proposed setbacks will meet code requirements as the B-5C district does not require minimum building
setbacks along property lines. To enhance the pedestrian environment, a plaza area will be constructed between
the two primary buildings. The plaza will provide a pedestrian path from the intersection of Busse and Main
Street, through the development to Northwest Highway. The plaza will include pedestrian amenities such as a
fountain, planting beds with seating walls, and outdoor seating areas.
Three drop-off and loading zones are proposed along the developments street frontages with Main and Wille
Streets. Nine on-street parallel parking is provided along Northwest Highway. The parallel parking spaces will
provide convenient parking for the retail tenants of the development while also providing a uniform street
presence along Northwest Highway similar to adjacent developments.
The site plan also illustrates sidewalks around the proposed development which vary in width from fifteen (15)
feet to seven (7) feet. To provide a comfortable pedestrian environment, wider sidewalks are proposed along
Main Street and Northwest Highway which maintain a minimum width of ten (10) feet. Sidewalks located along
Wille Street and the drop-off areas on Main Street are reduced to seven (7) feet due to their greater distance from
vehicular traffic.
Building Design - The proposed buildings will utilize a contemporary architectural style. The buildings will be
constructed with durable materials which consist primarily of brick, cast stone, cement fiber board, and spandrel
glass. At the pedestrian level, the building will incorporate cast stone at its base, with glass and an aluminum
storefront system at retail locations. Fabric awnings are proposed above the retail tenant spaces which will further
enhance the pedestrian environment.

The upper levels of the building fayade will incorporate several vertical bump-outs and recessed areas which will
help to break up the massing of the structures. Balconies, terraces, bay windows, in addition to the vertical relief
elements will provide play with light and shadow across the building's fayade. The corners of the buildings will
incorporate spandrel glass towers with metal cornice features that will provide an iconic presence to the buildings.
The parking structure will be constructed of brick materials that will match the existing Blues Bar Restaurant
building. In addition to brick, metal louvers and metal panels are proposed on the building's fayade to screen
vehicles within the structure from view. While the overall architectural design of the development is more
contemporary in nature, the proposed buildings will add to the mix of architectural styles within the core
commercial area.
Site Access - The proposed site plan shows that residents and customers will access the parking structure from
two locations. One access into the structure will be provided off of Wille Street, while a secondary access will be
provided from the existing public parking lot to the north of the development. The Wille Street frontage will also
include a retail loading zone internal to the building, with a residential drop-off and retail loading zone on-street.
A retail drop-off zone is proposed along Main Street with nine parallel parking spaces proposed on Northwest
Highway.
Parking - As proposed, parking for the development will be incorporated entirely within the parking structure
proposed on the north portion of the development. The structure will consist of 276 parking spaces which will be
utilized for retail customers, residents, and their guests. Of the 276 spaces, 107 are reserved for retail customers
and 169 spaces are for the condominium residents. Therefore, the parking ratio for the residential component of
the project is 1.6 spaces per unit which would exceed the amount of parking provided in other downtown projects.
The additional nine parking spaces provided along Northwest Highway will provide additional convenient
parking for retail customers visiting the development.
Landscape Plan - The Petitioner's landscape plan provides parkway trees along the Northwest Highway and Main
Street frontages. Final streetscape design must be reviewed and approved at time of permit issuance. Planters
along Main Street shall be provided to mirror the streetscape design that exists to the north of the subject property.
In addition to the streetscape elements, the plaza area located between the two buildings will incorporate planting
beds to provide additional natural amenities to the site. Decorative pavers and pavement will be utilized in the
plaza area and sidewalk locations around the building to complete the streetscape.
Finally, the project will also incorporate green building design elements that will further enhance the
development. The terrace levels of the proposed buildings (above retail spaces) will provide planting areas that
will enhance the building's architecture and be an added amenity to the residents of the proposed development. In
general, green roofs similar to those proposed in the terrace levels, help to reduce the urban heat island effect by
reducing impervious areas and providing additional plant materials in urban environments. Additionally, green
roofs assist in decreasing the amount of storm water run-off from properties by creating more locations on site
that can absorb rain water.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING
The Village Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Central Commercial Use. This land use designation
is appropriate for a dense, intensive land use pattern which focuses on an urban style of development and
architectures. Mixed-use development, with retail on the first level of the building and residential on upper levels,
is recommended within this land use designation. The proposed development therefore is consistent with this
designation and is appropriate for the area.

GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
As previously mentioned, the petitioner is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development within the B-5C
Central Core Zoning District for Phase One of the Mount Prospect Town Center. As such, the standards for
Planned Unit Developments would supersede the underlying zoning requirements. Per Section 14.504 of the
Village Code, maximum density of a PUD within the B-5C Core District may not exceed eighty (80) units per
acre. The proposed 105 residential units on 1.98 acre site will result in a density of fifty-three (53) units per acres.
Regarding building height, maximum building height within the B-5C district is eighty (80) feet. The main
building structure of the seven-story building will measure at eighty (80) feet to its roof line; however the turret
tower at the comer of the building will extend to a maximum height of 88 feet 6 inches. The six-story structure
will meet the code requirements for structure height.
Staff is supportive of the building height variation as the majority of the structure will be constructed to district
standards. The tower feature which will exceed the 80 foot limitation is centrally located in the property and
provides architectural interest to the structure.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The standards for approving a Planned Unit Development are listed in Section 14.504 of the Village Zoning
Ordinance. The section contains specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Planned Unit
Development. These standards relate to:
· The proposed development complies with the regulations of the district or districts in which it is to be
located;
· The principal use in the proposed planned unit development is consistent with the recommendations of
the comprehensive plan of the village for the area containing the subject site;
· That the proposed planned unit development is in the public interest and is consistent with the purposes of
this zoning ordinance.
· That the streets have been designed to avoid inconvenient or unsafe access to the planned unit
development and for the surrounding neighborhood; and that the development does not create an
excessive burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, and other public facilities which serve or are
proposed to serve the planned unit development.
The proposal is consistent with the Village's Comprehensive Land Use Map and is compatible with the
underlying zoning for the property. The mixed-use development will be compatible with other redevelopment
projects that have occurred within the downtown area and will be an added benefit to this area of the Village.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Conditional Use for a Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development meets the standards for this request as
listed in the Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning
Commission approve the following motion:
"To approve:
1) A Conditional Use permit for Phase One of a mixed-use Planned Unit Development consisting of 65 residential
units and approximately 19,000 sq. feet of retail subject to compliance with the following:
A. Variation approval to allow:
a. A maximum building height of 88 feet 6 inches.
